Nistikon — Orthodox Calendar

About this app

What is the fast today? Nistikon answers that question the moment you open it — in plain English, with bundled content that works offline. Built for Orthodox Christians — from catechumens taking their first steps to lifelong faithful — Nistikon is a calm, respectful daily companion. No ads. No accounts. No tracking. Nothing to sync. TODAY AT A GLANCE • The day's fasting rule, spelled out: "Wine and oil are allowed today." • The feasts and saints commemorated, with a short life for each • Scripture reading references for the day • A live countdown to Pascha A 50-YEAR CALENDAR • Every day from 2026 to 2075, color-coded by fasting level • Tap any day for its full detail • New-Calendar and Old-Calendar (Julian) modes • Jurisdiction presets: Greek (GOARCH), Antiochian, OCA, ROCOR, Serbian YOUR PRAYER RULE • Build a Morning and Evening rule from a library of public-domain prayers • Large, readable type for prayer • Gentle daily reminders — entirely optional, off by default WIDGETS • Home-screen and lock-screen widgets showing today's fast at a glance PRIVACY BY DESIGN • Bundled calendar and prayer content works offline — even in Airplane Mode • No ads, no analytics, no data collection of any kind All prayer texts are public domain (Hapgood, 1906, and other pre-1923 sources); sources are listed in the app. Fasting practice varies — Nistikon follows a widely published simplification, and every fasting screen reminds you to follow the guidance of your own priest. SUBSCRIPTION • Nistikon Premium, Yearly — 1 year — $9.99/year (2-week free trial for new subscribers) • Nistikon Premium, Monthly — 1 month — $2.99/month (2-week free trial for new subscribers) • Premium unlocks the full 50-year calendar, the Prayer Rule and its reminders, widgets, and Old-Calendar mode Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Nistikon now speaks Portuguese and Spanish. The whole interface, saint names, feasts, fasting rules, readings and all 17 library prayers are translated — the prayers freshly rendered from the public-domain 1906 sources — and a language picker in Settings switches instantly without restarting the app.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
